Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dermabrasion combined with topical 5FU  Vitiligo patch is dermabraded following which patient is asked to apply on local part 5 fluorouracil twice a day 
Intervention  Follicular unit transplantation  Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is a surgical technique that relies on providing a reservoir of undifferentiated stem cells to the depigmented lesional skin.

0-25 – poor response (grade 1)
25-50 – fair response (grade 2)
50-75 – good response (grade 3)
75-100 – excellent response (grade 4)
4. Hair repigmentation 
Every month after procedure for 3 months 
 
Secondary Outcome

study of stable vitiligo patients presenting to the department of dermatology
treated with either one of follicular unit transplantation, ultrathin skin grafting or
dermabrasion followed by topical 5-flurouracil. The aim is to observe and compare the efficacy of Follicular Unit Transplantation, ultrathin skin
grafting and dermabrasion followed by topical 5-flurouracil in patients of stable vitiligo. 
Randomisation: the participants will be randomised in 3 groups by sequential allocation. If
the participant has any contraindication to the allotted group, participant will be allotted to
